Sigil
This article is about John Romero's megawad. The Strife superweapon is The Sigil of the One God. Sigil (stylized as SIGIL with the G formed of three sixes) is a WAD for Doom by John Romero, released on June 1st, 2019. It requires players own a registered copy of Doom in order to play. Gameplay Sigil is a free megawad for the original 1993 DOOM® created by John Romero. It contains nine single-player and nine deathmatch levels. Plot Sigil takes place after E4M8 and before Doom II. After killing the Spiderdemon, Doomguy's next stop is Earth. However, Baphomet glitched the final teleporter with his hidden sigil, which brings Doomguy to even darker shores of Hell. The Doomguy has to fight through this stygian pocket of evil to confront the ultimate harbingers of Satan, then finally return to become Earth's savior. :Baphomet was only doing Satan's bidding by bringing you back to Hell. Somehow they didn't understand that you're the reason they failed in the first place. :After mopping up the place with your arsenal, you're ready to face the more advanced demons that were sent to Earth. :Lock and load. Rip and tear.
